Recruits are required to pass Table 1 Firing during Week 7 of training AND Table 2 during BWT/ALine Week 9 or 10. Their combined score determines their final qualification status. Recruits must get 60 out of 100 possible points to pass. The passage below is from Marine Corps Recruit Depot PI website:Table 2 Firing – Firing the Table 2 course of fire,
formerly called “Field Firing,” is a follow-on to the basics learned
during their firing during Table 1, or the Known Distance (“KD”) course
of fire. Table 2 is a course of fire that takes the basics and
applies them to the methods and techniques used in combat. Recruits
learn how to fire their service rifle while wearing their Kevlar
helmet, body armor system Outer Tactical Vest, and personal load
bearing equipment while using a 3-point tactical rifle sling. They
will practice shooting at a single target while in a stationary
position, and then learn how to engage both multiple and moving targets.
They will then fire the Table 2 course of fire for score, and the
combination of their Table 1 and Table 2 results will be used to
determine their final marksmanship score and the resulting marksmanship
badge.

GOD NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY...HE JUST PROMISED IT WOULD BE WORTH IT..

Yes, thanks from me too. This site is so great because you all have so much information. And I don't know about you guys, but I feel that the more information you have, the closer you feel to your Recruit! Yay!

Vir Fidelis - I asked my Marine about this and he said that it is based off of their familiarity of firearms. He said it is not really more difficult but is more practice for the recruits and their handling of the firearms. I hope this helps....sorry I just re-joined the board after 4 years away.
